/******************************
 * pdl.c - perldl spawner
 * Works around a problem with many unices that you can't use an interpreter
 * to run an interpreter -- so "#!/usr/bin/perldl" won't work.
 * This is a compiled piece of code that launches perldl "directly", 
 * so that the poor kernel's mind isn't blown.
 *
 * If you feed in a single non-switch argument it gets prepended with a 
 * "-" to let perldl know that it's an input file.  That way you can be lazy
 * and say "#!/usr/bin/pdl" at the top of your script.
 * 
 * Don't modify this .c code -- modify the generator, pdl.PL, instead.
